We need more help on our food team at our monthly Explore Together service. We get around 40-50 people coming along and lots don’t have any other point of contact with Church, so it really is an amazing opportunity. We would like a few people to say they would be happy to lead the food team maybe once or twice a year. If you could help in any way please let Susie know. Thank you.
